Curtis is a great name, I have always liked it. It sounds handsome and rugged but also gentle and kind. Curt is a good nickname. Not overly popular but has never faded out of popularity.

I feel this is commonly a surname rather than a first name. Just think it old-style but it carries a nice meaning. My friend chose this name & has similar characters. Quite good for him -- gentle & kind.
I have a cousin named Curtis and I think it suits him very well. Sweet, handsome and strong. Great name!

Curtis (Curt) Lawrence Mega is an American television actor who's known for his role of Nick in Glee and also Ben in the web series, "The Buffering Series".
I've only known one Curtis, and he was a really smart kid with glasses, so now this always seems like a "smart person" name to me. But people make the name, not the other way around, so it could fit anybody. Overall, I think it's a really cool surname that could be used as a unique first name, like Reed.
